Quite a few years ago in Las Vegas, the fire alarm went off in the Riviera Hotel on the Strip. The construction job in the front of the hotel (attached) was on fire.

All the elevators reacted to the alarm by stopping, then immediately descending to the ground floor, leaving people to walk down the stairs.

A middle-aged woman and her wheelchair-bound mother were on the fourth or fifth floor. Her mother said to leave her there and go down the stairs.

A voice behind them said, "No one is staying here up here".

A man crouched in front of the wheelchair and told the elderly woman to put her arms around his neck/shoulders, and he piggy-backed her down the stairs and out to the parking lot.
